I'm having similar issues. Did you get it resolved?

Budget is the $5K range. I'm not really looking for a 1500hd. Will either go 1500 5.3 or 2500 6.0

I've thought about a 2500 with the 6.0 but the gas mileage is just awful on a 6.0

towing will be an 16ft open trailer, 4-5k lbs. That shouldn't be an issue for a 5.3, right?

In the market for a GMT-800 5.3. Will be used for towing my race car mainly, but also on "regular" trips. Do any years seem to be the best, or is pretty much any 99-06/07 good?

I would not have drained it personally. You were fine. I’ve used 8 single quart bottles, as well as used 8 quarts from 2 5 quart jugs and both have got my right at the full line

Thatll sure be a chunk of change, but not near as bad as the labor and cost of replacing suspension components every so often

Just swap it into M6 at highway speeds if you dislike it so bad. You shouldn't be able to tell

What about vacuum pump?

Bleed the brakes.

Brakes are not covered under warranty. There is also no "expected" brake life due to the different driving conditions and habits of each driver.

I think it's more due to the gauges actually being decent instead of most other manufactures putting in dummy gauges

If it were me, I'd start with replacing the plugs.

Children, quit bitching at each other.

In the past 785 miles I've gotten 22.0. 5.3 DC 3.42
